Two visions of the future

Jamie
I don’t think the future looks very good for life on this planet. We are damaging it with our lifestyle, and may soon reach the point of no return. I think oil will have run out in about 50 years from now, but we won’t have spent enough time or money on scientific research to have found real replacements. This means that our lives will change dramatically. Even more serious maybe will be climate change and the shortage of water that will bring. I’m sure that by 2050, many countries will be fighting with one another for the use of rivers and lakes.
Already we can see drastic changes in our weather patterns, but we keep missing out on chances to change anything. In the future, we’ll see more flooding, violent thunderstorms, and tornadoes. This will devastate both human and animal populations, and I believe many animal and marine species will be wiped out. I don’t want to sound pessimistic, but I don’t think we’ll know how to deal with it. And the main problem that no one is talking about is the population explosion. Everyone is ignoring this, and in my opinion, that’s the worst thing of all.

Gwen
I don’t believe that things are really as bad as all that. Jamie’s view is unnecessarily pessimistic. We can already see that scientists and politicians are finding solutions to current problems in the form of energy-efficient cars and cleaner fuels. I think that in five to ten years’ time in many cities we will be using clean public transportation to move around, and cars will be a thing of the past. Planes, too, which pollute so much at the moment, will have better designed engines, so in about 30 years’ time, we will have reduced air pollution significantly. I believe that by then, the levels of pollution we’re seeing today will be a thing of the past.
But it isn’t just big organizations that will be changing. Individual people will be changing their lifestyle and habits, too. I’m sure that within 10 years, people will be using solar and wind energy to power their houses, and we certainly won’t be leaving our computers and TVs on all night like we do now.

5 He fears that many animal species will become extinct because of _______________
__________________________________.

6 But, for Jamie, the biggest issue is __________________________________.

7 Gwen is more _______________________

8 She predicts that we won’t be using __________________________________.

This means that our lives will change dramatically. Even more serious maybe will be climate change and the shortage of water that will bring. I’m sure that by 2050, many countries will be fighting with one another for the use of rivers and lakes.
Already we can see drastic changes in our weather patterns, but we keep missing out on chances to change anything. In the future, we’ll see more flooding, violent thunderstorms, and tornadoes. This will devastate both human and animal populations, and I believe many animal and marine species will be wiped out. I don’t want to sound pessimistic, but I don’t think we’ll know how to deal with it. And the main problem that no one is talking about is the population explosion. Everyone is ignoring this, and in my opinion, that’s the worst thing of all.

I don’t believe that things are really as bad as all that. Jamie’s view is unnecessarily pessimistic. We can already see that scientists and politicians are finding solutions to current problems in the form of energy-efficient cars and cleaner fuels. I think that in five to ten years’ time in many cities we will be using clean public transportation to move around, and cars will be a thing of the past. Planes, too, which pollute so much at the moment, will have better designed engines, so in about 30 years’ time, we will have reduced air pollution significantly. I believe that by then, the levels of pollution we’re seeing today will be a thing of the past.
But it isn’t just big organizations that will be changing. Individual people will be changing their lifestyle and habits, too. I’m sure that within 10 years, people will be using solar and wind energy to power their houses, and we certainly won’t be leaving our computers and TVs on all night like we do now.
